More Berry Pickers
Needed at Gresham
Portland (U.R) The Ore
gon farm labor office here today
called for 1,000 more berry
pickers needed at once for the
Gresham and Beaverton areas as
favorable weather pointed to an
all-time record strawberry har
vest in the state. "
Showers Wednesday revived
the heat-stunted plants in the
Willamette valley and growers
said the sf ason could last until
August, producing a bumper
crop. The federal crop reporting
service had earlier predicted a
harvest of 73,260,000 pounds for
the state.
' Harvesting was later than in
normal year and is barely
started in areas where it usually
would be nearly completed
Fruit was reported of large size
and good quality.
Processing plants were work
ing around the clock in Gresham
and in the Tualatin valley to
keep up with the heavy harvest.
Oregon has won a nationwide
market for its strawberries,
frozen in one-pound containers
for the retail trade or in 30-
pound tins to be used for pre
serves. '

United Pmi Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) Rosalind
Russell, the glamorous clothes
horse and musical comedy star,
has changed
into a homely
spinster with
wrinkles and
curlers in her
hair for a
movie "So I
Won't Get
Bored." '
Fast - talk
Roz' most . re
cent r n 1 s
Aline Mosby were in two
musicals, "Wonderful Town" on
Broadway and "The Girl Rush"
for the movies.
But today I found the one-time-song-and-dance
queen wear
ing an ill-fitting dress and a mop
of uncombed hair for her return
to heavy drama in "Picnic."
"Some, stars are afraid to do
this," the actress said as she sat
in her dressing room and stared
at herself in the mirror.
Not Much Looks
"Somebody asked me why the
heck I'm doing this. Well, I've
never worried much about my
lbaks, really. You can't call
Marlon Brando handsome, or
Jimmy Cagney.
"Furthermore, this is a ma
ture role and some actresses who
refuse to admit they're growing
old are pathetic. For God's sake,
act your age!"
Roz' clothes for Columbia's
movie version of the Broadway
play were carefully made not to
fit. The a waist of 'her cheap
powder blue suit was hiked up
in the back and the skirt was
"cut all .wrong." She wears
junk jewelry and "I found these
wonderful $3 shoes with plat
form soles and ankle straps."
"I'm supposed to be a man
hungry old maid who's after
William Holden," she explained.
"For many scenes I wear no
make-up, and my hair is up in
curlers so I look like a pin
head." Good Disguise
The movie company, headed
by Broadway director Josh
Logan. (This is his first film in
20 years), spent uncomfortable
reeks on a Kansas location try
ing to work amidst tornadoes,
Ihunderstorms and hail stones.
Unfortunately, some townspeo
ple who watched the shooting
thought Miss Russell looked
homely not on purpose. . "
"I got a registered letter from
a woman who said it was heart
oreaking the way I've let myself
go," the actress said with a lusty
laugh.
But although she knows some
fans will be "horrified" ,to see
her in "Picnic," she prefers the
role to those career woman
parts that still are offered her.
"I did nothing but career
women for 19 films," she said.
"I always had nine phones and
the same desk the same desk!
in all those pictures.
"And the same backdrop be
hind the office window of the
Empire State Building. They al
ways had me on the 40th floor
of Pockefeller Center.
"I never even had my ward
robe fitted. I'd just call the de
signer and say, "well, here's the
scriDt, another piece- of iunk. so
make four suits and a negligee
for the crying scene."

counted some more important re
verses which may explain the
smiles and friendly posture of
today's Kremlin bigwigs.
Josef Stalin and his successors
have lost some of their greatest
gambles in strategic policy. They
put their blue chips on the line
after World War II that:
1. The United States would
suffer a shattering depression.
2. The United States and the
United Nations lacked the will to
meet aggression with bullets, as
in Korea.
3. And, biggest of all, that the
United States would spend itself
into bankruptcy.
Bat Not Lost
Kremlin foreign policy was
based on those three assump
tions. The Communists lost bet
No. 1 without qualification. The
current high level of American
business, individual earnings,
and national production may not
be sustained. But few are pre
dicting now that serious depres
sion is just around the corner or
around the block.
Stalin did better than he de
served on bet No. 2. The evi
dence is well in, now. It seems
to show that the United Nations
could have won a clean victory
in Korea if the American and
other forces there had been per
mitted to throw their Sunday
punch. Even so, the idea that the
United States and the U. N.
lacked the will to fight was
proven to be a phony.
No. 3 Still Undecided
It might be said that bet No
3 has not yet been decided. But
a definite trend is in plain view.
All-out war inescapably leads to
inflation which is the cheapen
ing of money in relation to goods
The United States got a" good
dose of that after World War II.
President Truman was a spender.
In his first five years and four
months in the White House, Mr.
Truman administered the spend
ing of about a quarter of a tril
lion dollars.
That was more spending than
anyone had done before him It
made FDR's spending record
look small. It was. such spend
ing that caused Sen. Harry S.
Byrd (D-Va) and others to warn
that the United States was
spending itself into bankruptcy
because a large part of that
4 spending was on the cuff witn
borrowed money.
It Hain't Happened
Nobody knows how high a
nation's public debt must go to
obtain bankruptcy. But bank
ruptcy of currency comes when
the citizens suddenly lose confi
dence in their money. They rush,
then, to exchange it for almost
anything. Prices zoom. The value
of the dollar slumps. Five cent
cigars cost $20, - $50 or $100.
That's real inflation. It could
happen here, but it hasn't.
On the contrary the United
States dollar is being stablized.
The Labor Department reported
yesterday that the cost of living
had not varied more than one
tenth of one per cent in the past
six months. It looks like the
Russians are losing bet No. 3.
Even a gradual rise in prices,
meaning a gradual cheapening
of the dollar, would not win
for the Russians. They were
betting that the United States
after World War II would ex
perience the agony of Germany
after World War II when one
dollar would buy 500,000 or
more, marks instead of five as
before the war. . .
These three bets were basic
for the Soviet Union. If they
had won there would have been
no NATO. West Germany would
not be an independent nation
shortly to be armed. There
would have been no Marshall
Plan and all of Western Europe
probably would be Red by now.
Hardest of al) for the Kremlin
to lose was No. 3. It has been
Communist gospel that so-called
democracies could notsurvive.
Both Lenin and Stalin wrote
that a democracy, or a repre
sentative republic such as the
United States must in the natur
al order of events spend itself
to death. The Red gospel was
wrong.
